Implementing large language model and retrieval augmented generation to extract geographic locations of illicit transnational kidney trade.

International journal of health geographics
BACKGROUND: Illicit kidney trade networks, operating globally, involve intricate interactions among various players, most notably buyers, sellers, brokers, and surgeons. A comprehensive understanding of these trade networks is, however, hindered by t...

Deep learning unlocks the true potential of organ donation after circulatory death with accurate prediction of time-to-death.

Scientific reports
Increasing the number of organ donations after circulatory death (DCD) has been identified as one of the most important ways of addressing the ongoing organ shortage. While recent technological advances in organ transplantation have increased their s...

Development of a Machine Learning-Powered Optimized Lung Allocation System for Maximum Benefits in Lung Transplantation: A Korean National Data.

Journal of Korean medical science
BACKGROUND: An ideal lung allocation system should reduce waiting list deaths, improve transplant survival, and ensure equitable organ allocation. This study aimed to develop a novel lung allocation score (LAS) system, the MaxBenefit LAS, to maximize...

Transforming liver transplant allocation with artificial intelligence and machine learning: a systematic review.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: The principles of urgency, utility, and benefit are fundamental concepts guiding the ethical and practical decision-making process for organ allocation; however, LT allocation still follows an urgency model.

Deceased-Donor Kidney Transplant Outcome Prediction Using Artificial Intelligence to Aid Decision-Making in Kidney Allocation.

ASAIO journal (American Society for Artificial Internal Organs : 1992)
In kidney transplantation, pairing recipients with the highest longevity with low-risk allografts to optimize graft-donor survival is a complex challenge. Current risk prediction models exhibit limited discriminative and calibration capabilities and ...

A large-scale retrospective study enabled deep-learning based pathological assessment of frozen procurement kidney biopsies to predict graft loss and guide organ utilization.

Kidney international
Lesion scores on procurement donor biopsies are commonly used to guide organ utilization for deceased-donor kidneys. However, frozen sections present challenges for histological scoring, leading to inter- and intra-observer variability and inappropri...

Deep Learning-Based Survival Analysis for Receiving a Steatotic Donor Liver Versus Waiting for a Standard Liver.

Transplantation proceedings
BACKGROUND: An emerging strategy to expand the donor pool is the use of a steatotic donor liver (SDLs; ≥ 30% macrosteatosis on biopsy). With the obesity epidemic and prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, SDLs have been reported in 59% of al...

Identify Hard-to-Place Kidneys for Early Engagement in Accelerated Placement With a Deep Learning Optimization Approach.

Transplantation proceedings
Recommended practices that follow match-run sequences for hard-to-place kidneys succumb to many declines, accruing cold ischemic time and exacerbating kidney quality that may lead to unnecessary kidney discard. Hard-to-place deceased donor kidneys ac...

A Framework for Using Real-World Data and Health Outcomes Modeling to Evaluate Machine Learning-Based Risk Prediction Models.

Value in health : the journal of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research
OBJECTIVES: We propose a framework of health outcomes modeling with dynamic decision making and real-world data (RWD) to evaluate the potential utility of novel risk prediction models in clinical practice. Lung transplant (LTx) referral decisions in ...

A machine learning approach for the prediction of overall deceased donor organ yield.

Surgery
BACKGROUND: Optimizing organ yield (number of organs transplanted per donor) is a potentially modifiable way to increase the number of organs available for transplant. Models to predict the expected deceased donor organ yield have been developed base...
